The circulation of three newspapers increased at each outbreak of war as this graph shows, and the newspaper achieved better performance by approving of the war (continent invasion was a national interest).

The oppression of government toward newspapers became severer depending on the size and antiauthoritarianism of it, but adversely, the achievements became bigger due to cooperating with the government.

The reason why a newspaper cooperates with the government is complicated, but this is big, too.

日本の新聞は戦争と共に・・・

グラフが示すように戦争勃発の度に新聞の発行部数が伸び、新聞は戦争（大陸侵攻と言う国益）に賛同することで業績を上げた。

また反権力の大新聞ほど政府の締め付けは厳しかったが、逆に政府に協力することの利得は大きかった。

新聞が政府に積極的に協力して行く理由は複雑だが、これも大きい。
